This year's resources for Disability Ministry Sunday are now out. They focus on how relationships between God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit form a model of loving community that Christians can aspire to practice as inclusive communities on earth.

"In the Trinity there is an eternal circle of relationship where there is mutual self-giving love towards others allowing space for diversity and difference." says Disability Ministry Educator Rev Vicki Terrell introducing the 2025 resources. 

This year's Disability Ministry Sunday pack includes a theological introduction to the nature of the Trinity as a model of inclusive Christian community, a reflection on Trinity and Caritas, and links God as Trinity with core values of mana tangata (& human dignity), kōtahitanga (& unity), āwhina (& mutual care), whakawhanaungatanga(& humanity) and kaitiakitanga (& good guardianship).

Highlights form the Disability Sunday resources include an NZ Sign Language-signed video of The Lord's Prayer from The Abbey in 2024:
The Lord's Prayer in Te Reo Māori, English and NZ Sign Language

A critique of the Government's recent changes to Disability support:(with Government responses included in the pack).
Rev Dr Graham Redding challenges the Government's changes to disability support

And a range of intercessions that link the Trinity with disability awareness and solidarity, including:

"Loving God, help us to be open to the gifts and challenges that difference and disability bring, so that together we can become more fully the body of Christ." 

"We pray for a greater understanding of the ways we can include all people in our communities as Jesus includes us. We pray for all people who live with disability, that all will have enough support to live well." 

"We pray that the world will honour the Convention on the Rights of Persons with disabilities throughout the world, so that all people can live lives of dignity."

"We pray for the work of this Church's Disability Ministry Educators and all who challenge the Church with the demands of love."
